5.  DO NOT carry passengers.

6.  DO NOT operate the machine under the influence of 

alcohol or drugs.

7.  If the operator(s) or mechanic(s) cannot read

material to them. A Spanish decal kit is available  for 
this model. See your local Scag Dealer.

8.  DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing. Loose clothing, 

jewelry or long hair could get tangled in moving 
parts. Do not operate the machine wearing shorts; 
always wear adequate protective clothing including 
long pants. Wearing safety glasses, safety shoes and

ordinances and insurance regulations.

 WARNING

Always wear hearing protection. Operating this 
machine over prolonged periods of time can 
cause loss of hearing.

9.  Keep the machine and attachments in good

2.4 TESTING THE SAFETY INTERLOCK 
SYSTEM

The safety interlock system should be tested each time 
before using the machine. If the safety interlock system 
does not operate as described below, contact your local 
Authorized Scag Power Equipment Dealer immediately to 
have the safety interlock system repaired.

 WARNING

This machine is equipped with an interlock system 
intended to protect the operator and others from 
injury. This is accomplished by preventing the 
engine from starting unless the deck drive is 
disengaged and the transmission is in neutral. 
The system shuts off the engine if the operator 
releases the operator presence levers with the 
deck drive engaged and/or the transmission 
is not in neutral. Never operate equipment 
with the interlock system disconnected or 
malfunctioning.

1.  Place the steering control levers in the neutral lock 

position, place the speed control lever in the neutral 
position, engage the parking brake, and engage the 
PTO switch to the ON (up) position. Stand in the 
operating position for electric start models. Try to 
start the engine; the engine should not start.

2.  Place the steering control levers in the neutral lock 

position, move the speed control lever out of the 
neutral lock position, engage the parking brake, 
move the PTO switch to the OFF (down) position,  
Stand in the operating position for electric start 
models. Try to start the engine; the engine should not 
start.
